My point was what if captive breeding DID start much earlier. A hypothetical scenario where reptiles were able to be kept more properly since, say, the turn of the 20th century at the very least and captive breeding was widespread. Which would not only give far more time for morphs to develop, but it also would've been at a time where the ethics of selective breeding were far less scrutinized as a whole.
